Novità - Memphis Belle Predator Heritage Black Sea
Prossimo al debutto, il modello avrà una cassa di bronzo annerita chimicamente e un movimento manuale sviluppato a Grenchen (Svizzera) partendo dall’Unitas 6497-2. Le differenze rispetto alla meccanica originale sono numerose: i ponti separati, la funzione d’arresto del bilanciere a corona estratta, la regolazione a collo di cigno, il rivestimento PVD nero, la decorazione a côtes de Genève curve, il bilanciere con bracci ricurvi riconducibile a un brevetto di Einstein. Il quadrante riporterà il logo della X Flottiglia M.A.S. e una decorazione ispirata alle sue imprese.

New releases – Frederique Constant Highlife Heart Beat
The new collection revisits the iconic design of the first Heart Beat timepiece, which reveals the inner workings of its movement at midday, and brings it into the 21st century. Located at the pole of the globe decoration on the dial, the aperture is finished with three luminescent hands. You can look straight into the automatic FC-310 caliber with power reserve of 38 hours, from both front and back through the sapphire crystal.

The home of Rolex
The “bird’s nest” bridge leading to them, completed in 2012, was entirely financed by the foundation that owns Rolex and named after Hans Wilsdorf, the company’s founder.
The red arrow indicates the details about the ongoing construction of a new building. Rolex also owns a 130,000 square metres complex in the south-west of the city, a production unit in Geneva’s eastern region and, of course, the huge manufacturing facilities in Biel/Bienne.
